Open Wuthering Waves Settings, choose Graphics, and test one repeatable area. Lower the overall graphics preset by one level first. If more performance is needed, reduce shadows and visual effects one option at a time, then use a frame-rate limit the PC can hold steadily. Check the current PC requirements before expecting one setting to fix a hardware limit.
Compare the processor, graphics card, memory, Windows version, and free storage with the current requirements. If the PC is close to the minimum, begin with a low preset and a modest frame-rate target instead of copying settings from a faster computer.
Stand in the same town, open-world area, or combat encounter and repeat the same camera movement. Note the current preset, resolution, frame-rate limit, and approximate FPS before changing anything.

Lower the graphics preset first
Open Settings and choose Graphics. Lower the overall Graphics Quality preset by one level, apply it, and repeat the same test. This gives you a useful starting point without changing every option at once.
4
Reduce shadows and effects one at a time
If the game still stutters, lower Shadow Quality and visual or special-effects quality one step at a time if those controls appear on your PC. Retest after each change so you know which one helped.
5
Use scaling only when available
If DLSS or another resolution-scaling option is available for your graphics card, start with its Quality mode and compare the same scene. Try a stronger mode only when more FPS is needed, because it can make hair, foliage, and distant detail look softer.
6
Choose a frame rate the PC can maintain
Set the frame-rate limit to a value that remains steady in your test area. A stable lower option usually feels better than a higher target that repeatedly falls during combat. Try V-Sync both ways only if you notice a horizontal tear across the picture.
7
Update and retest before reinstalling
Close downloads, browser video, recording tools, and overlays you do not need. Install the latest stable graphics driver, restart Windows, and repeat the same test. Use Kuro Games support if performance changed suddenly after a game update.
If the game becomes slower only after several minutes, let the PC cool, make sure its air vents are clear, and repeat the same test. Heat can reduce performance even when the graphics settings have not changed.
If character movement jumps backward while the camera remains smooth, check the connection. That is network lag, so lowering shadows again will not repair it.
Do not copy hidden configuration files or force unsupported frame rates. Menu options can differ by hardware and game version, so use only controls that appear on your PC.
